Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide, affecting all genders and ethnic groups, but has several key risk factors. Those who smoke, have high blood pressure, or high cholesterol are at the highest risk. Those who abuse alcohol, are overweight, lead a sedentary lifestyle, have diabetes, or have an unhealthy diet are also at increased risk of heart disease.

For these reasons, it’s important to recognize the signs of heart problems and get the right treatment before they become too serious. If you experience more than one of these nine signs, especially if you’re 60 or older, see your doctor for an evaluation.

1-Fatigue

In today’s fast-paced society, it’s easy to say, “I’m tired.” However, excessive or sudden fatigue can be a warning sign of coronary artery disease (damage to the heart valves) or heart failure (weak heart muscle). Easy fatigue during activity can also be a sign of heart disease.

2- Angina

Angina is sometimes called chest pain, but the pain is not always present. Instead, some people experience heaviness, pressure, tightness, pain, fullness, or burning. These sensations can also occur in the arms, shoulders, neck, or jaw instead of the chest. If angina symptoms continue for more than a few minutes, see your doctor.

3- Heartbeat

An irregular or fast heartbeat is not always a sign of a heart problem, it may be due to stress, for example. However, if this is not a factor, or if you experience heart palpitations frequently or when you are not doing any serious activity, you should let your doctor know so that you can be tested for heart problems. This could be a sign of heart disease.

4- Snoring

Although snoring is a risk factor for heart disease, according to the University of Michigan, people with congestive heart failure are also prone to sleep apnea, a condition that causes snoring. Sleep apnea can make heart failure worse and cause heart attacks, so if you snore, talk to your doctor.

5- Edema

Swelling in the legs, feet, and ankles can indicate that the heart is not pumping blood efficiently, causing blood to pool in those extremities. Swelling can also be caused by inefficient kidney function, leading to fluid buildup and swelling. This can be a sign of heart failure.

6- Difficulty breathing

Shortness of breath that is not caused by exercise can be a sign of heart failure, valvular heart disease, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, or even heart disease.

7- Dizziness

Dizziness and fainting can be caused by heart failure, heart valve disease, or heart muscle disease. While it’s normal to feel dizzy or lightheaded when you stand up too quickly, it can also indicate that your heart isn’t pumping blood properly, causing your blood pressure to drop. If this sensation is accompanied by chest pain or shortness of breath, contact your doctor immediately.

8- Nausea

Nausea, vomiting, and indigestion are sometimes caused by a heart attack. This is especially true for women. If you experience these symptoms for an unknown reason, talk to your doctor.

9- Sweating

Heart attack or coronary artery disease can cause sudden sweating. If you experience sweating along with any of the other symptoms listed, call your doctor.

Common Early Symptoms of Arthritis https://dr-heithem.xyz/common-early-symptoms-of-arthritis/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 20:26:34 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=151

Arthritis is a general term that describes more than 100 different types of joint pain or disease. The Arthritis Foundation reports that arthritis affects more than 50 million adults and 300,000 children in the United States, making it one of the leading causes of disability.

So how do you know if he or she has arthritis?

General symptoms:

According to The Arthritis Foundation, some common symptoms include mild to severe swelling, pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Sometimes arthritis causes permanent changes to the joint, such as a bulging finger, but very often arthritis is only visible on an x-ray.

1-joint pains

The most common signs of arthritis is the joint pains. The pain may be constant or it may come and go. It can get worse when you move or put pressure on the joint. Joint pain caused by arthritis can make it difficult to do normal activities.

2-hardness

First thing in the morning or after sitting for a long time is a common symptom of arthritis. Rather than give in to a nagging urge to go back to bed, it’s important to gently stretch and get your joints moving.

3-Cartilage wear and bone-to-bone sensation

quite an unusual feeling. If you notice strange sensations in your joints, or feel or feel your joints creak and creak as you move, you may have early signs of arthritis.

4-Loss of flexibility and mobility

is another common symptom. Flexion problems in the elbows, wrists, knees, or ankles are a warning sign. Arthritis symptoms tend to be worse at certain times of the day. This varies from person to person, but often occurs in the morning, at night, or after certain activities.

Risk factors

Risk factors for arthritis are obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, a poor diet, and previous joint injuries, WebMD reports. So the best way to prevent osteoarthritis is to maintain a healthy weight, exercise regularly, and treat your injuries properly.

In terms of nutrition, it is important to eat a diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin C, and vitamin D. Fish, olive oil, and flaxseed are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, green peppers, broccoli, tomatoes, melons, and potatoes. The body gets most of its vitamin D from the sun, so it’s important to exercise outside. Vitamin D is also found in fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and herring.

6 Best Herbs To Help With Hormonal Imbalances https://dr-heithem.xyz/6-best-herbs-to-help-with-hormonal-imbalances/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 20:22:01 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=141

With birth control pills, hormone-disrupting chemicals everywhere, and even hormones added to chicken we buy at the supermarket, it’s no wonder women sometimes have a hard time balancing the hormones in their bodies. Some of the symptoms of hormonal imbalance include irregular periods, weight fluctuations, depression and anxiety, fatigue or insomnia, low libido, digestive problems, and thinning hair.

There are a number of herbs that will help balance hormones naturally. The first six are listed below:

1) black cohosh (Actaea racemosa).

It is known to treat the symptoms of menopause and premenstruation, and scientific evidence suggests that it acts like estrogen in certain parts of the body. It has anti-inflammatory properties, which studies have linked to reduced levels of inflammation associated with osteoarthritis.

2) Ginseng.

Ginseng is the number one herb for reducing stress hormone and cortisol levels. Cortisol can affect every system in the body, leading to irritability and anxiety, weight gain and bone loss, and energy depletion. Asian ginseng (Panax ginseng) is the best-known adaptogenic herb, and studies have confirmed its ability to help you deal with stress. It is an antioxidant and antidepressant that can lower both blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

3) Ashwagandha.

Commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine, this herb also lowers cortisol levels and has anti-aging effects. According to the Global Healing Center, it stimulates blood flow to the female reproductive organs, which helps with sensitivity and arousal. It can also help fight problems many experience during menopause, including hot flashes and depression.

4) Vitex agnus-castus (Vitex agnus-castus).

Leaf and berry extracts have markedly different effects, as do different concentrations of herbal extract, so it is important to use this extract with the utmost precision. Natural Living Ideas explains that vitex affects the pituitary gland by regulating hormones like estrogen and prolactin. It can be used to treat a number of hormonal problems in women, including PMS, cyclical breast pain, polycystic ovary syndrome, and problems associated with menopause.

5) Easter flower (Anemone pulsatilla).

According to Cassie Mendoza Jones, this herb is used to treat pain or inflammation in the reproductive system in both women and men. It has analgesic (pain relieving) and antispasmodic effects, so it can help relieve pain associated with the menstrual cycle. It also alleviates a number of emotional problems associated with depression and anxiety, fatigue and tearfulness, and promotes healthy sleep.

6) the root of the sum.

Also known as South American ginseng, this herb is native to the Amazon and is commonly used to improve mood and promote reproductive health, according to the Global Healing Center. Early research shows that suma increases levels of 17beta-estradiol, a vital sex hormone for balanced hormone levels. It has been used for a long time for its aphrodisiac properties!

 

Herbs are a powerful tool for regulating hormonal balance, but they must be handled with care.

10 Foods That Are Good to Eat Past Their Expiration Dates https://dr-heithem.xyz/10-foods-that-are-good-to-eat-past-their-expiration-dates/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 20:13:46 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=129 There are various labels on the products that tell you about the freshness of the products. For example, “sold by” labels are just so stores know when to remove a product from their shelves. “Best When Used” labels tell us that something is still safe to eat after this date, but the taste may be different. So maybe these dates don’t exactly indicate that we should throw out the food and buy it fresh.

  1. Eggs

Properly refrigerated eggs are estimated to last 3-5 weeks. However, this does not mean that after this time you cannot eat the few eggs that are left in the package. It is best to break the eggs and check their color and smell. A rotten egg will have signs of discoloration and a really overpowering smell that makes it the complete opposite of appetizing.

  1. Hard cheese and butter

Hard cheeses tend to keep longer than soft cheeses due to their lower water content. Depending on the type of cheese, they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks after opening. Parmesan cheese can be stored for 3 to 6 weeks, cheddar for 3 to 4 weeks, and edam and gouda for up to 2 weeks. Be sure to store the cheese in an airtight container, or even in the freezer if you don’t plan on using it anytime soon.

Butter will keep in the fridge even longer after opening the package. You can also use them 1-2 months after their expiration date, or 2-3 months if the package is unopened. The reason butter lasts so long is because it doesn’t contain much lactose and is mostly made up of fat. The best way to store butter is to keep it in its original packaging or wrap it in extra aluminum foil.

  1. Milk and yogurt

Many people are afraid of drinking expired milk, thinking that it is not safe, but it is still safe to drink after a week, if the milk has been stored properly with the lid on tightly and the smell is still good. But even though it’s slightly acidic, you can still use it in cooking or baking as it can be a great substitute for buttermilk. You should not be afraid of serious diseases, since all harmful pathogens are already killed during the pasteurization process.

Yogurt is also safe to eat one to two weeks after its expiration date, as long as it looks and smells good. What we mean by spoiled yogurt will show signs of discoloration or worse, mold. As long as it looks perfectly white, you can be sure that you can add it to your breakfast.

  1. Cereals

An unopened bag of cereal can last 6-12 months in the cupboard, and an opened bag will be good 4-6 months past the expiration date. The expiration date is only an indicator of when the maximum quality of the product will begin to decline. That doesn’t mean it’s not safe to eat cereal and buy new packaging, it’s just money down the drain. If the cereal isn’t safe to eat, you’ll notice bad odors, bugs and flies on the packaging, or even mold.

  1. Peanut Butter and Applesauce

An opened can of peanut butter will last 2-3 months in the pantry and 6-9 months in the fridge. But it can last even longer if it is 100% natural. However, even when spoiled, it will not go moldy, but rather taste very different and unpleasant. Remember that separate oils don’t mean your peanut butter is bad, but it could mean a solid product.

An unopened can of applesauce can be stored for 2-4 months past the expiration date. However, an opened jar, whether homemade or store-bought, can be stored in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. You can still taste the product to make sure it tastes good, but it will most likely taste great. Some brands allow you to use their products even 30 days after opening the bottle.

  1. Seasonings

Ketchup is without a doubt one of the most popular condiments and an open bottle can last up to a year in the fridge. It depends on the quality of the mark and you will notice that it has gone wrong if you see separation and darkening. Even an ordinary open bottle of mustard is very strong and can last 12-18 months when refrigerated. Warning signs that it has gone bad are discoloration and a bad smell.

An open jar of mayonnaise can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 months, as the low temperature slows down the growth of bacteria. However, an opened jar that is left out of the refrigerator will keep for about 8 hours. If you’re making your own mayonnaise, keep in mind that you’ll need to use all of it within a week before it goes bad.

  1. Chips, cookies and crackers

The bag of chips can be stored for up to 1 month after the expiration date. That doesn’t mean they won’t be healthy to eat, but they will likely lose their crunchiness. You can store them in a cool, dry place and seal them tight to make them last longer. Crackers and pretzels, on the other hand, can be stored for up to 3 months after their expiration date.

Packaged cookies can be stored in the pantry for 7-10 days (soft) and 2-3 weeks (hard) after opening. You can extend their life by placing them in the freezer where they can keep for 4-5 months. Homemade cookies can last the same amount in the freezer, but only 2-3 days (soft) and 2-3 weeks (hard) in the pantry.

  1. Meat and fish

Fresh meat should not be left in the refrigerator after purchase for more than 5 days and should be frozen when not in use. So, depending on the type of meat, it can maintain its freshness and flavor for up to 12 months in the freezer: 4 to 12 months for steaks, 3 to 4 months for raw ground beef, 1 to 2 months for sausage, and 9 months. -12 months for poultry. Make sure your freezer is working properly, as the number of bacteria in poorly stored meat doubles every 15 to 20 minutes.

Fresh fish, on the other hand, lasts only 1-2 days in the fridge, while smoked fish lasts 5-7 days. Just like with meat, you can extend the life of fish by placing it in the freezer for 3 to 9 months, depending on the type of fish. If the fish has gone bad, you will notice a slimy texture and a bad taste once thawed.

  1. Cake mix

Bakery boxes often contain flour, baking powder, sugar, cocoa, and other flavoring ingredients. This means that they can be stored for a long time, even after opening. In this case, they can be used even after 4-5 months if they are properly stored in a cool and dry place.

However, you will need to check your cooking mix for flour bugs, as they can appear at any time. Also known as weevils, they eat your food while mating, which means they reproduce quite quickly. Therefore, if you see small black dots in the flour, it means that you need to clean it before using it. It is not necessary to throw away the packaging, but to inspect the level of damage.

  1. honey

Raw honey is one of the few foods that won’t go bad, whether it’s stored properly or not. Honey that is not mixed with other syrups will crystallize or darken, but this is natural and does not mean it should be thrown away. All you have to do is store the honey in a glass jar with the lid tightly closed at all times. It’s the only product that has an expiration date tacked on so companies can keep selling new cans and buyers can pay more money.

Do you always throw out expired food without even checking it, or do you always check something to make sure it’s still good to eat?

8 Easy Remedies That Your Dry Lips Will Thank You for Using https://dr-heithem.xyz/8-easy-remedies-that-your-dry-lips-will-thank-you-for-using/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 20:08:34 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=118 Chapped lips are mainly associated with winter and cold weather, but they can also appear due to other factors. For example, a very dry climate can be bad for your lips. And while prevention is always the best tactic, sometimes a problem arises and we have no choice but to try to fix it. That is why we have put together a list of simple things you can do at home to cure bothersome chapped lips.

  1. Use aloe vera and honey.

Aloe vera gel is often used for burns, but it can also work wonders for dry, chapped lips. You can easily buy the gel at the store or use the gel directly from the plant if you have it at home. You just have to peel off a sheet, unfold it and remove the gel. Be sure to take it easy though, as aloe vera does have some gentle exfoliating properties.

As for honey, there are many studies that show how good it is for wound healing. It can also help to hydrate dry lips and lightly exfoliate them, removing some of the dead skin. Organic honey works best for this, so try to stay away from store-bought forms of honey that are high in sugar.

  1. Use lip balms with SPF protection.

Whether it’s winter or summer, applying a lip balm with SPF 30 or higher is essential to protect your lips. Try to find a product that contains titanium oxide or zinc oxide, and reapply conditioner every 2 hours if you’re out too long. Remember that the sun can damage your skin and lips even with very low temperatures.

  1. Use avocado oil.

While many people use avocado oil for cooking, it’s also great for moisturizing lips. It is not a strong allergen so it is perfect for people with sensitive skin who have chapped lips most of the year. The sterolin contained in this oil protects the structure of skin cells and treats inflammation. After doing its restorative work, it will leave your lips soft and highly hydrated.

  1. Use Vaseline throughout the day.

Vaseline is very easy to find and quite cheap, and scientists have approved its daily use for chapped lips. It holds moisture longer than oils and waxes, and you can apply it to your lips throughout the day and at night before bed. That way, it will have plenty of time to do its job and restore shine to your dry, dull lips.

  1. Use cucumber slices.

You’ve probably seen a lot of women in movies put cucumber slices on their eyes and it turns out that you can do the same with your lips. Just take a couple of slices and gently rub them on your lips, leave the cucumber juice on them for about 10 minutes before rinsing. You can also crush the pieces into a paste and apply to your lips as a mask.

  1. Use green tea bags.

Green tea is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It may not have been proven to heal chapped lips, but it will relieve the burning sensation of dry lips. Simply place the tea bag in hot water, let it steep for a few minutes, and then take it out. Put the tea bag on your lips for a few minutes and you will notice that they feel much better afterwards.

  1. Use light exfoliating mixtures.

There are many scrub recipes you can find online and most of them are sugar based. Something as simple as sugar and honey can go a long way for dry, chapped lips. You have to be very careful how you rub the scrub on your lips. A scrub is especially necessary if flakes of dry skin hang from the lips.

  1. Use a conditioner that contains beeswax.

Beeswax has many antibacterial properties that help heal wounds of all kinds, including chapped lips. This will help with the infection and stimulate the skin to produce new cells. All you have to do is find a good beeswax lip balm and keep applying it to your lips as many times as you like throughout the day.

8 Remedies That Can Improve Your Hair Loss Naturally https://dr-heithem.xyz/8-remedies-that-can-improve-your-hair-loss-naturally/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 20:02:43 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=107 Hair loss is mostly associated with men, but in reality, more than 55% of women will experience some type of hair loss in their lifetime. In fact, around 40% of women experience permanent hair loss in their lifetime. And while genetics can play a role in this, other times hair falls out as a result of daily habits. That is why we have put together a list of remedies that can help get your hair follicles healthy again.

  1. Green tea

In the study, researchers applied green tea extract to participants’ scalps to see if it helped regrow hair. After 4 days, it was evident that her hair growth activity had increased significantly. Apart from this, green tea also protects the scalp by improving the condition of the hair follicles. This is especially true for those who take it in supplement form, as they will see improvements in blood flow and oxygen levels.

  1. Onion juice

Imagine this smell might seem overwhelming, but onions have been shown to promote hair growth. It is especially effective for alopecia areata, a condition in which hair falls out in patches on different parts of the body. Onion juice helps improve blood circulation in the scalp or any other part of the body. All you have to do is blend a couple of onions, squeeze the juice and apply it to your scalp for 15 minutes before shampooing.

  1. Egg yolk mask

Egg yolks contain what is called sulfur, which is vital for hair and hair growth. While we still need solid evidence that egg yolks can promote hair growth, it can’t hurt to try a homemade mask. You can mix 2-3 egg yolks with 2-3 drops of lemon juice and apply the mask to your scalp with your hands. You will need to put on a shower cap, then leave the mask on for 20 minutes before rinsing with cool or lukewarm water.

4.Ginseng

Ginseng has many beneficial properties, including a positive effect on hair growth by stimulating hair follicles. There aren’t many studies at the moment, but a 2018 study showed great promise. Ginseng can be taken as a supplement. However, be sure to consult your doctor before taking any pill.

  1. Pumpkin Seed Oil

In a 2014 study, researchers recruited men who had a history of alopecia, or male pattern baldness. Those who took 400 ml of pumpkin seed oil for 6 months experienced a 40% increase in hair growth. On the other hand, those who took the placebo only saw a 10% increase.

To apply it, it is necessary to heat it a little and apply it to dry scalp, massaging. Then you need to cover your head and leave the oil there for about 20 minutes. After removing the eyeliner, wash your hair as usual.

  1. Licorice root

The flavonoids, phytoestrogens, and other essential oils found in licorice can promote hair growth. Since licorice root is hard to find, you can use tea and mix it with Indian gooseberry powder or henna to make a beautiful paste. Many people use these blends for a variety of hair problems, including dull hair, dandruff, and split ends. However, before applying licorice directly to your scalp, it’s best to check with your doctor to see if it’s right for you.

  1. cayenne pepper

Cayenne pepper is known to improve blood circulation, so it would be helpful to try it for hair loss. You can mix it with some olive oil and make your own oil that you can apply like any other oil. However, be sure to let the mixture sit for 10-15 days before using it and keep it out of direct sunlight. Alternatively, you can make a paste out of the same ingredients and rub it into your scalp.

  1. With hearts of palm

This is not a very common ingredient, but a 2-year study showed strong hair growth in men suffering from baldness. Participants took 320 mg of saw palmetto every day for 2 years and experienced significant hair growth by the end of the study. Specifically, new hair was growing on the crown of the head, or on the top and back of the head.

6 Everyday Habits Your Teeth Will Thank You for Adopting https://dr-heithem.xyz/6-everyday-habits-your-teeth-will-thank-you-for-adopting/ Sat, 10 Feb 2024 19:57:42 +0000 https://dr-heithem.xyz/?p=97 Not everyone understands the important role of the mouth in maintaining general health, as it is able to warn of potential problems. This is because the mouth is connected to the respiratory and digestive tracts, which means that many germs can enter through the mouth and reach the rest of the body. That is why it is so important to keep your mouth clean throughout the day, as well as pay attention to the little things.

  1. Don’t brush too hard.

Everyone’s gums should be pink and firm if they are 100% healthy. However, some people experience swollen gums that often bleed or, worse, begin to fall out. If your gums are receding, you’ll notice that your teeth appear longer than normal.

One of the main reasons could be that you brush your teeth too hard with a hard-bristled toothbrush. Dentists recommend that people brush their teeth with a soft-bristled toothbrush in a circular motion. They should not apply too much pressure to protect the teeth from wear.

  1. Don’t forget to brush your tongue.

Not washing your tongue could mean that any bacteria that collects on it will have a chance to multiply. If this happens, you may start to experience bad breath, an inability to taste food, gum disease, and even yeast infections. This is why it is important to start using a tongue scraper, as it is much more comfortable on the tongue than a regular toothbrush.

If you use a toothbrush, you must first rinse your mouth with warm water. Start at the back of the tongue and be very careful not to hit the gums or teeth. Once you’re done, you’ll need to rinse again to remove any loose bacteria.

  1. Use mouthwash and get rid of smelly food.

Eating foods like garlic, onions, and spices almost daily can be the cause of persistent bad breath. But the most common cause of the problem is poor oral hygiene, when food remains in the mouth. These leftovers will rot in your mouth and create an unpleasant odor. Not only that, many bacteria remain on the tongue and produce smelly sulfur compounds.

This is where mouthwash comes in, as it helps kill bacteria and provides fresh breath. If your mouthwash contains fluoride, it can also help with periodontal disease and even reduce cavities.

  1. Use the right products if you have sensitive teeth.

If it hurts to drink cold water and eat hot soup, it may be worth visiting the dentist. This is because sensitivity occurs when tooth enamel wears away, exposing the roots of the teeth. Your dentist will be able to tell you which toothpastes are best for your sensitivity so you don’t use anything that could make things worse. In addition, they can apply fluoride in the most sensitive areas to strengthen the enamel and relieve pain.

What you can do at home is use a soft-bristled toothbrush and follow oral hygiene rules down to the smallest detail. You can also stay away from acidic foods that can eat away at tooth enamel.

  1. Brush your teeth every year.

Another problem that poor oral hygiene can cause is discoloration of the teeth. If you don’t clean them often enough, bacteria, acids and plaque build up more easily and find a home in your mouth. It is the plaque and tartar that create a yellow coating on the outside of the teeth, making them unsightly.

Therefore, in addition to brushing your teeth twice a day, you should also visit the dentist once a year for an examination and cleaning. During this process, your dentist will be able to remove tartar and plaque from hard-to-reach places. They will also clean your teeth with special tools and then polish them. This last step will make your teeth shine again and remove the yellowish tint.

  1. Visit the dentist if you notice anything unusual.

In some cases, people notice quite painful sores at the corners of their mouths. While you may think the cold is causing them, it is actually due to bacterial infections. The reasons for this may be some nutritional deficiencies, excess saliva or the habit of pinching the lips.

The first thing to do is to visit your doctor and ask him for solutions that will fix the problem and give you relief. You may also need blood tests to see if you have any deficiencies that may be causing the problem.

There are 3 possible reasons for the unpleasant metallic taste you may be experiencing, one of which is medication. A metallic taste in the mouth can often be caused by antihistamines, antibiotics, and heart medications. Also, it can be a direct symptom of gum disease, which will require a visit to the dentist and a complete change in oral hygiene regimen.

The third reason is the possibility of a zinc deficiency, which is more likely if you are vegan or vegetarian. Legumes, wheat germ, pumpkin seeds, and dairy products can help. But if you don’t want to eat any of these foods, you may need to talk to your doctor about taking zinc supplements.
